To reconfirm or amend the main object clause of your company, follow these steps:
### **Procedure for Reconfirming or Amending the Main Object Clause:**
1. **Review Existing Object Clause:** - **Obtain a copy** of your company's existing Memorandum of Association (MoA) to review the current main object clause. - **Check the relevant documents** where the main object clause is mentioned.
2. **Board Meeting:** - **Call a Board Meeting** to discuss the need for reconfirmation or amendment of the main object clause. - **Pass a Board Resolution** to approve the proposed changes, if any, to the object clause. This resolution should outline the new object clause or confirm the existing one.
3. **Special Resolution at General Meeting:** - **Convene an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM)** of the shareholders if the changes require a special resolution. - **Draft the Special Resolution** for amending the object clause. The resolution must clearly specify the changes or reaffirmation of the object clause. - **Pass the Special Resolution** during the EGM.
4. **Filing with Registrar of Companies (RoC):** - **Prepare the necessary forms** and documents: - **Form MGT-14** for filing the special resolution with the RoC. - **Form INC-24** (if applicable) for seeking approval for the change of object clause. - **Attach a copy of the special resolution** and the amended MoA with the forms. - **File the forms** with the RoC online through the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) portal. - **Pay the prescribed fees** for filing the forms.
5. **RoC Approval:** - **Wait for the approval** from the RoC. Once approved, the RoC will issue a certificate confirming the change or reconfirmation of the object clause. - **Receive and file the RoC approval certificate** as part of your company's records.
6. **Update Records:** - **Update the company’s statutory records** to reflect the new or reconfirmed object clause. - **Make necessary changes** to company documents and marketing materials to align with the updated object clause.
### **Additional Tips:**
- **Consult Professionals:** Consider consulting a company secretary or legal advisor to ensure compliance with the Companies Act and to properly draft and file the necessary documents. - **Document Management:** Keep a copy of all resolutions, forms, and approvals in your company’s records for future reference. - **Communication:** Inform all relevant stakeholders about the changes to ensure alignment with the updated business objectives.
